1. Of the 103 parking spaces in the building’s garage, 26 will be allocated to the Target. No word, however, on how Target plans to keep others from bogarting their spaces.

2. The proposed hours of operation are from 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. And…

3. A Starbucks-branded Target Café is part of the project.

While the store is certainly Formula Retail, San Francisco’s Planning Department recommends the Target be approved, noting that the project “would fill a vacancy on a relatively prominent block” and is “desirable for, and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.”

Maybe Target could clad the entire building exterior in glass with one large red Target logo like the MUNI buses do with their advertisements. People on the outside can see the ad but it doesn’t affect the sightlines of the interior residents.

Also, Target’s ready made food is atrocious. I rather see a larger electronics section which this location needs. The key is to diversify offerings other existing stores do not have.
